11st 6lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles for Paul Kiely; ran well despite jumping left on her stable debut at Listowel last month; down the field in a Tramore Flat handicap since; would not be a total surprise if she got involved. |
16/1 |

7th 2 (11) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Won three hurdle races and a 1m6f Flat handicap for her previous trainer; suited by good ground; made a bright start for this stable when fourth in a handicap hurdle at Listowel last month. |

1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Won three handicaps for previous yard and likes good ground; 1m6f Flat winner last year when her hurdles form wasn't great; has dropped down to last winning mark, but not a hectic record when fresh and last two wins have come in cheekpieces. |

Three-time Flat winner; last success was in 2021; hard to take any encouragement from his Flat/hurdles form this year. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 61y |

Three-time Flat winner is just 1-32 over hurdles; fourth at Wexford in April but has been below that twice since and others make more appeal. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 144y |
11st 3lb |
Maiden who has not run on the Flat since second over 2m at Thurles in October 2023; ordinary form over hurdles this year; addition of tongue-tie could spark a revival. |
10/1 |

11th 19 |
7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y |

Dual-purpose maiden has been soundly beaten in handicaps over various trips and isn't easy to fancy. |

27th May 2025 Good 2m 6f 63y |

Dual-purpose maiden is 0-5 over timber; hasn't shown enough in two handicap hurdles to be of interest here, though could improve if the ground turns soft (has run well on soft on the Flat). |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Popped up with a win at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft) in August and his chance can't be dismissed, but that was his first win in just over two years and he's inconsistent; only eighth at Perth (2m4f, good) last time. |
10/1 |

8th 9 |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Exploited a reduced mark and snapped a long losing sequence at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft) last month on his second outing following wind surgery; did it comfortably and remains well treated on his old form following a 6lb rise; major player if backing up that latest performance. |
15/2 |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Now 7lb lower than when 40-1 third in quite valuable Kelso handicap (2m5f, good to soft) in March but this season's C&D form has been underwhelming; needs to up his game. |

Won a bumper and a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe, but that latest win came three years ago; was in poor form over hurdles last autumn and was tailed off on his chasing debut at Downpatrick back from a break; the blinkers are new. |
